I arrived back at home to find out ht have the dreaded, infa the next few days or so away fro her," my mom warned me, as she stirred a pot of chicken soup "If you are sick already you’ll only get worse, even if you have a face mask on"

"Mom, I’ considering you’re here and not at work I can tell that o lie down"

I obeyed and headed to my room I had planned to tell her that I was sent ho that had to do with ht out the worst in my parents, especially my mother If I had told her that Frida sent me home because of concerns about my mental state… oh boy

As I walked down the hallway past Ada’s room, I heard a muffled cry from behind her door

"Perry, is that you? I heard your bike"

I stopped and stared at the door, not daring to co on the other side of it

"Yeah, it’s me Work sent me home because I’m sick"

"Do you have swine flu too?"

"No I don’t have any flu They just think I’m sick"

Silence I started to walk away

"Perry, can you come in here, please?"

"No Why?"

"I need you to do ed closer to the door "I can do you a favor but I’round zero"

A loud, painful sigh followed and then, "OK Um You seeit may sound funny, butwell"

It was like pulling teeth "What, Ada?"

"Can you write onfor the rest of the week?"

That was not what I was expecting "Huh?"

"I have to do et dressed or take pictures Plus I look like shit"

"Well, I look like shit too, so I can’t be much help"

"It doesn’t matter, I just need you to write a few posts, even if you are just updating people on my situation"

"Which is?"

"That I have swine flu! Godda say?"

Though I had an ad sister dropped the F-bomb

"Sorry Continue"

Her voice cah, more ive you o onto your coh, but for the life of me, I had no idea what to write about I told her so

"Anything It doesn’t have to be clothes-oriented I would prefer if it wasn’t because Converse Chucks and leggings will never be the height of fashion"

Buuuurn

"And anyways," she continued, "it doesn’t even enerated If I don’t post every day, I lose readers Even by not doing it this weekend I have already lost ten per cent, and if that continues, I’ll lose lobal domination," I added

"Yes!" She cried out excitedly then lapsed into a coughing fit I grimaced and backed away from the door as a precaution

"Exactly," she squeaked out when she found her breath "Please, Perry?"

"Sure, sure It’ll giveto do at any rate" And hopefully would take my mind off of my problems

Unfortunately,back into things, like Spiderman’s symbiote

As I sat there in front ofblankly at the screen, I realized I had nothing to write about Fashion was out of the question, as Ada apparently thought that would scare away her readers Which I didn’t understand because leggings, studs, zippers, chains and a whole lot of black was so in right now (according to the other blogs I’ve read, anyway), not toand livelihood, and I had to remember that in some ways this was a real job to her

I considered writing a little blurb about my experiences as a failed stuntwoman, or maybe a bit about one of ive a dae, and speed metal wasn’t made for her audience

Then it came to me I knew exactly what to write about and how to do it
